Purchased up a dial back timing light and hooked it up to Darwin and played with the initial timing last Saturday. I read the instructions and I think I improved matters a bit but I still have a few questions.
The instructions ask to attatch the inductive lead to the #1 spark plug wire, where is that on a Chevy 4.3 V6? Is it the forward most cylinder on the left bank?
Where on the wire is the best place to place the inductive lead? Near the spark plug? Near the distributor? (an HEI in my case) In the middle?
Do you need to disconnect the vacuum advance and plug the hose when using the timing light?
I know that these may sound like awfully dumb questions , but I'm really new at this and every turn of the screwdriver seems like a misadventure sometimes.
